welcome!

 
 

hey, i’m bri! i was born in brooklyn, new york and raised in staten island. i’m a singer/performer and a recent graduate of Penn State University.

my love for music began at a very early age after being surrounded by the sound of my parent’s 70’s classic rock records.

singing quickly became my passion, and i went on to attend Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in Lincoln Center as a vocal major. there, i was trained in multiple styles of music including classical opera (Italian, German, French & English), folk, pop, rock, and musical theatre. i graduated in 2017 and was honored to receive the Graduation Award for Excellence in Vocal Music, which is a scholarship given to one student in each major at the cumulation of their four years.

after high school, i continued my education at Penn State University. i showcased in May 2021 with my eleven classmates and am so grateful to be represented by Hudson Artists Agency in NYC.

following graduation, i collaborated with RWS Entertainment Group to conceive and open 4 brand new shows onboard Azamara Onward Cruise Line as the lead female singer. i had the time of my life traveling on Onward’s 2022 inaugural sailing through the Mediterranean Sea and working with incredible director/choreographers Chip Abbott, Brian Harlan Brooks, Jesse Robb, and Marc Kimmelman!

most recently, i played Francine Valli in Arts Center of Coastal Carolina’s production of Jersey Boys. i had a blast singing the iconic music of The Four Seasons, spending the summer on Hilton Head Island, and learning so much from such an incredible cast and creative team.

i am also incredibly passionate about inspiring and educating younger generations. i’m a certified substitute teacher and currently work as a private English tutor for students of all ages whenever I’m not performing.
